Description and Objectives of the Project: The flow separation may be confined 
by a small separation bubble in the case of air intakes. Because of this bubble, 
the separation zone will expand and block the flow path, resulting in an 
unplanned intake. It is therefore needed to study the separation zone in SWBLI 
with unsteadiness and predict the size of the separation bubble. In this 
project, the determination of the separation length of the SWBLI over a wide 
range of Mach numbers, such as supersonic and hypersonic regions, while 
considering the unsteadiness of the SWBLI, is attempted numerically. From the 
study of the effect of flow parameters on separation, a complete correlation to 
determine the separation length with flow parameters such as Reynolds number, 
Mach number, incident shock strength, etc. will be given at different Mach 
number regimes. It can predict the size of the separation bubble, which will be 
useful to the supersonic and hypersonic aircraft engineer when designing the air 
intakes.

The position is purely temporary and will be governed by the funding agency 
rules & service conditions of the Office of the Dean (Research & Consultancy), 
MNNIT Allahabad.
